In memory of Stan Lee, the creator of Spider-Man and so many other wonderful heroes. You will be missed and you will be remembered.
All credit goes to Greg Weisman, Luke Ross, Rob Schwager, Joe Caramagna, and the wonderful folks over at Marvel Comics!

This reminds me so much of that jake gyllenhaal movie about the marathon bombing in Boston.

The scientist that came up with the states of grief correct themself saying that there's no real order to them

A better movie than Amazing Spider-man 2

Then Flash became Venom and got new legs anyway.
LORDTACHANKA
And then he died.
bananhammock
He says “your twice the hero” and that’s bugging me but I can’t bring myself to correct it out of my love for the comic
CamoSpiderMan
Oh this drives me insane. Should’ve never made it to print considering how many pairs of eyes looked it over.

I came down here to look for this

Unbelievable! This is not butter!

They just let people on the track to cheer?
asexybaby
He has the rank of sergeant on his arm, why do they call him corporal?
GrimdogX
Think he was promoted after the loss of his legs on top of his medals, given how he lost them he deserved at least that.
GrimdogX
Then again the General also calls him private so it's possible it's just the writer trying to do military vocab style hazing.
SavageHonesty
No, the General calls him Corporal. Flash was shaking the hand of the guy he saved when he(Flash) called him Private.

Agent Venom. Highly recommended, 5/7 storyline

The feels nuke has dropped.
MkTheWizard
THIS is why I love Spiderman. The whole cast is just as developed as Spidey himself namely Flash who went from bad boy to good man.

Peter Parker/Spidey was my best friend growing up. This made me bawl like a child. Nott he first time since I heard...
LORDTACHANKA
RIP Flash. He was great as Agent Venom.

Spidey is hands down Stan Lee's greatest creation. He is my favorite superhero and will remain my favorite to this day!

ReposterCallerOuterMan
same. hes been my favorite super hero since i was 3 years old. He brought me to rank 190 on the 360's marvel vs capcom3 world leaderboard
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
Everything that has grown from spiderman is amazing. I keep up with the spiderman comics, venom, and others.
Aranon
"... To this day", huh? Who is going to be your favorite superhero tomorrow since this is Spidey's last day of being your favorite? Lol
RedRaptor
Aranon
Perfect! That NEEDS to be an alternate suit in Spider-Man 2!
CorneliusCornwall
Peter Parker and Spider-man are the best.
ShrubNinja
That's a good way to put it. I think one of the best things about Spiderman is that Peter Parker is a fun character, not just an alter ego.

Step -1: Agent Venom.
TravisTee34
Very good comic, though there is the slight conceptual problem with “five stages of grief”. Despite the name, it isn’t a set of stages.../
vipe650r
Someone else touched on it adding that it was later updated to reflect that there is indeed no definite order to the stages/process.
TravisTee34
From one to another. Rather, they are common manifestations of grief, originally based on observations of terminally ill patients.
TravisTee34
Not only do you not necessarily move from, say, denial to anger, but “stages” can just as easily blend together or mot manifest at all.../
TravisTee34
So really, you can’t “move backwards through the stages”, since it’s not a set-in-stone progression. Even Dr. Kübler-Ross herself.../
TravisTee34
Regretted phrasing it as she did, since the meaning was misunderstood. Sorry for the rant, but I did some looking into this a while back.../
TravisTee34
While dissecting a fan theory based on it.

Great story...but a little invalidated by the fact that Flash does eventually get new legs. Via the Venom symbiote, even.
AnthropomorphisingEverything
That's comics. He loses his legs, he gets them back, they turn evil and kill his mom, they turn good and save the day, he loses them again..
DanniLuxgarbe
The difference is he's made peace with the lack.
SleepyTrex
And now he dead.
Dagordae
Meh, he's be back within a year. Hard to take death seriously when nobody ever stays dead. Just like DBZ.
GrimdogX
Marvel has been pretty good for keeping people dead for quite awhile in recent years.
thepuppeter
'Quite a while'. Ok, so they stay dead for longer. They're still coming back.
GrimdogX
Well sure, can't kill off the things that make you money but some of them at least stay down for a year or so.
PokeMasterWrath
Wolverine was what? A year?
orionlpax
question, why ain't the big brains doing more for the common man? they run around building starships, extradimensional prisons etc while 1/2
Quincy80
How well could you identify with a story where supertech has totally changed everyday life?
OrC23
Tell me, do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops?
LincLoud
It's been tackled in a few comics actually. The impact is usually a better world, just less interesting to read. Invincible series covers it

The real answer is that it'd change the world too far from our own. The in-universe answer: constant supervillain attacks, every single day.
DisgruntledFerret
Any time Reed Richards might want to mass-produce organs, Immortus, warlord of the Negative Zone, invades and tries to kill everyone.
orionlpax
ever year thousands of people on the organ donor waiting list die, millions die from illnesses just out of reach of normal doctors.
AuntSharron
A lot of these things are personally funded prototypes. Mass production would be ludicrous in terms of existing tech.
orionlpax
tony stark can build dhape shifting armor but he can't invent a cyber liver? mr fantastic can clone thor but he can't grow a heart?

Basically, they have more important things to care about. Who cares about a few thousand, when your job is about human annihilation?
PersonalDildo
Pretty sure Iron Man's nano suit can easily do it, but then again that's how Iron Man got back into addiction
LEZSszel
Maybe, like IRL they could do it, but the thing is that the people behind their money, investors and so on, can't see a profit on it
1metalnation
I mean, every billionaire superhero in marvel is a billionaire because they create and sell technology that massively saves lives
samials
Tony Stark’s billions are (at least initially) from weapons sales
LEZSszel
Yes, but I mean that in most cases their companies have investors who have the fame of worrying more about money than people
Fatbird
If you can grow a heart, solo, as your own operation, that's going to be your entire life from that day forward. Growing hearts, that's it.
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
Seriously. If Wolverine wanted to he could just stay under the knife 24/7 and be used for organ harvesting. But who wants that life?
Fatbird
You would get more done out in the field, stopping supervillain tragedies. More lives saved, more property saved. A single person making--
Fatbird
--organs will never be able to meet demand. IT's better to let humanity catch up and take care of that.
